Tristana VU looks AMAZING!...Only one problem though...

EDIT: According to IronStylus in another thread the "current idea is to update the splash because the proportions and face are a little more in line."

Personally I like this idea. This way the old splash is preserved, and is just being updated to match the new design. I can dig it.Tristana


Her pretty much brand new splash art (WHICH WAS ONE OF IF NOT MY FAVORITE IN THE GAME) is already outdated now! :C

The proportions, the clothing design (borderline 'heavily' armored to borderline 'heavily' exposed), even the design of her cannon (and how she holds it) is different! Riot, was it known internally that the final splash would look different from the final VU design, and instead of looking like either the old or new Tristana, it would look like something in between?

(Also sorry if this should go into Story and Art as it deals with the visual design and splash arts. I can copypasta into there if that's where it should go)

(EDIT: Thanks to the boards crashing, really hope this didnt double post. If it did, my bad!)

I wonder if there will maybe be a Traditional Tristana skin to make use of her current splash art. Would be a shame to just toss it out.

I agree it would be a shame to just toss it out, but I dont think these changes exactly warrant a "Traditional" skin, unless they were clever in the texturing and coloring to make it look different enough.

Well her Champion Update article is already up on the front page as I linked. I know she's on the PBE and is subject to change (as is everything on the PBE), but still, it seems pretty final and intentional that this is the design they're going for.

I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN ITSELF. I actually really like it! I just think it's a shame it's already making the new amazing splash outdated and inaccurate. :C

Yea, it's a bit odd, love both of them though. I bought Rocket Girl Tristana when she went on sale but now I like her base splash and base model more :/ lol
